Mob Wives Chicago Recap: If You Don’t Like the Warm Weather, Leave the Kitchen


Nora shows up at Renee’s place to give her back her shit.  Nora gets there and Renee opens the door to sweetly say “hey”.  Wha??  Nora gives her “$750” cash and a suitcase of clothes.  Nora tries to book it and Renee verbally accosts her and tells her to sit down for a nice chat.  Nora tries to leave, because she doesn’t feel comfortable talking anywhere but in a public place with food and/or drinks.  They start out by arguing who has more to get off their chest.  By the looks of it, it’s probably Renee. 

Nothing will be said that’s of any value.  They just scream at each other in a stream of bleeps.  Basically what I gathered from this is that Nora was told that Renee’s daughter was sick and that’s why she was late.  Nora thinks that her dad would be ashamed of Renee.  Renee thinks that Nora is an alchy. 

But, the kicker is when Nora says, “I hope you lose your daughter” as she bolts out the door.  What a chicken shit!  Wow.  That’s low.  I severely dislike a few people, but I would never say something like that to them.  Unless, of course, I meant it. 

Ah, back to normal.  Two of the ladies are meeting up for drinks.  Pia is ready to let it all out and C-Wow is ready to relieve her conscience.  C-Wow tells her that she doesn’t understand why she’s friends with Nora even after hearing that she was out talking smack about her behind her back.  They resolved this like two adult women.  While I really like this as a person, I’m a little disappointed as a viewer and recapper.  Aren’t these shows about blood feuds and grudges?

I got this ring at my satanic cult initiation.  Nice, huh?

Renee goes through the bag of used clothes.  She’s upset because while she only has three bedazzled jeans and three shirts in the suitcase, she “borrowed her” an entire wardrobe.  Who’s borrowing what here?  These women really need a refresher on the English language. 

So, in her anger she throws away the clothes.  I would have done that without the anger.  I just don’t ge the whole bedazzled jeans thins.  The money is also short, so now I’m totally amused because while Nora was dealing out the bills she was counting it up and came to $750.  Dave walks in only to have Renee lay it down for him.  Dave seems confused about why she’s mad and blames Nora’s behavior on having a bad day.  OK, I get Renee’s upset, but really?  You’re telling this all to a dude.  Men, in general, can’t grasp our problems with each other.  Guys get into fist fights with each other over who is better than who at Medal of Honor and then are completely over it by the time the last punch is thrown.  They don’t get lifelong grudges and sneaky digs and they most certainly don’t like to be involved in drama.  Dave high tails it outta there and Renee is left with no one to lay on this anger.  I feel your pain, Renee.  It would kill me to not be able to tell that story in full at least three times and get no response back from the person to whom I’m telling it.  That’s the female version of blue balls.

C-Wow goes to a lounge to tell her dad about her divorce.  I hope some punches get thrown or someone lights someone else on fire, because I’m getting really bored.  She first asks him about his rap sheet.  It’s crazy, because this guy seems like your run of the mill mild-mannered retiree.  You would never guess this guy spent half his life in the joint on B&Es. 

C-Wow tells him that she’s divorced.  She just says, “So, Dad, you know me and Joe are divorced, right?”  Well, probably not since you’ve never told him.  He’s mad at her for taking vows that she didn’t fulfill – pointing directly to the “til death do us part” bit.  In interview she astutely points out the hypocrisy of a man who finds divorce wrong, but spent years in prison for theft.  He refuses to discuss the issue, so she leaves.  Now, she has to work up the balls to tell her daughter.  Oh, yeah!  The kid!  Yeah, maybe she should know, huh?  I mean, America as a whole knows now, so maybe you should tell your daughter.

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    Nora’s a nut and that “sit down ” made me love Renee. I love how she sat there calmly and did not utter a word until the very end. And in my opinion she didn’t stick her finger in Nora’s face, she pointed her finger on her side of the table. My finger goes up when I’m mad too. Her being late to Nora’s dads memorial did not warrent the attitude Nora was giving her, she did show up and Nora has got to drop this crap about her dad dying – when she mentioned her mom and sister I knew there is much more to this story. I couldn’t believe she told Renee that she hopes she loses her daughter (as she was running out the door) she’s lucky Renee didn’t snatched her by the back of her head right there!

    Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!
    Stupid DVR cut off right before it got good. Damn, Rodel loves him some confrontation and he missed it.

    I don’t get Nora’s storyline either. I think she’s a wackadoodle..I mean I really think she needs meds and a white coat. Memorial for her father….bah….I doubt she even knew him very well.

    I really want to know Leah’s secret for getting those curls. As a whitegirl blessed with frizzy hair I would die to get curls like that.

    I will watch because it’s Chicago, but so far they make Chicago look dirty.

    @Sheesh, go to Vh1.com and see the clip. They don’t have episodes, but they’ve got clips and one of them is the fight scene. It’s pretty awesome. It kinda’ made up for the rest of the episode. When Renee slams Nora’s head into the bar and fell out. Bitch is bad. For real.

    Christina looks like Alex Borstein (formerly of MAD TV – Miss Swan! – now known as voice of Family guy’s Lois).

    Loves me some Leah. I crack up whenever she’s onscreen.

    Keep up the good recaps!

    @ Sugarbush, I’m cracking up at your writing the fight scene kinda made up for the rest of the episode. So true with tv. I need to start watching this show. Great recap!

    “Shoving your finger up a person’s butt just doesn’t seem threatening. It seems gross and a little sexual.” Planning on trying this with Mr. Sugarbush as well? :)

    Loves me some Leah and Renee. I do think Drita might even think these chicks are nuts.

    Not sure which one I am giggling more at “Satchels of fuckin gold” or “Aaaaand done”

    Sheesh I love watching the scenes and trying to figure out where they are (if they are in Chicago – ahem Schiller Park, Elmwood Park, Franklin Park, Cicero)

    The loose curls are amazing Leah.

    Nora kept running after she did everything, throw drink, run, grab hand, run, ummm if you are going to “lay hands” on someone you have to be ready to fight.

    @Classy.
    I saw that a little differently.
    Nora throws drink..runs (come on after me Renee)
    Renee, “I’m coming for ya!”
    Nora comes back and grabs Renee’s hand..runs (come on Renee tape’s rolling)
    Renee, “When you least expect it. FINGER UP ASS!”
    Nora slumps shoulders and sighs. Goes back one more time BACKHAND! POW!
    Renee, ‘There won’t be a place you can…Muthafuck??!!”
    Nora, “Finally!”

    OK..that’s was an exaggeration, but for as much as Renee was talking about spreading Nora’s ass all over it took her long enough to get froggy.
